Putting me to bed

I miss knowing that at the end of the night I can sit down in any comfy chair and fall asleep. I did this all the time, knowing that it didn't matter where I ended up because I knew that Naki would come and find me after he got home from work to bring me up to bed. He would rouse me from my sleep, which is quite ungraceful to behold, would then convince me that I needed to stand up with his assistance, and would then walk behind me, going up the different stairs needed to get me to our room. I remember some of these times and truthfully other times I would wake in the morning, get out of our bed, and not remember him walking me there. Once I could have woken fully but decided to stay a bit delirious. It is a precious memory for me. He spoke to me so patiently and gently as I weaved back and forth with each step that I took. On my occasional misstep he'd guide me from behind, making sure that I didn't run into any walls or doorframes, something I'm known to do even when awake. He even chuckled a time or two...But the best part was when we got to our room, he sat me on the side of the bed and carefully helped me change into my pajamas just as you would a child. (I can really sleep deeply...) He even removed my earrings since he knew how much I hate to sleep with them in. He would always have the covers pulled down and the extra pillows removed before he even came to find which chair I was in, so that by the time he got me upstairs it would all be waiting and ready for me. That night, as he literally tucked me in and kissed me goodnight, I knew that I had found the most amazing man to be my partner and best friend. I miss you, Babe. I really really miss you.
